Wichita-based Yingling Aviation is now a Honeywell-authorized dealer for the manufacturer’s engines, avionics, and auxiliary power units (APUs). This enables Yingling to sell and renew Honeywell Maintenance Service Plan contracts and service Honeywell products.
As a Honeywell dealer, Yingling Aviation can support the company’s avionics and maintain HTF7000 and TFE731 engines and GTCP36-150, RE-220, and RE-100 APUs. Yingling is also stocking Honeywell’s DU-1310-2 flight displays that replace obsolete DU-1310-1 units in Gulfstream G350 through G650 models and Dassault Falcons equipped with EASy II avionics. The DU-1310-2 displays are already approved as part of those aircraft’s illustrated parts catalogs and require just “a simple logbook entry” to replace, according to Yingling.
“The DU-1310-1 displays are no longer supported or covered under MSP-A contracts, and sourcing used units is difficult and expensive,” said Josh Peterson, avionics sales manager at Yingling Aviation. “We’ve brought in the DU-1310-2 displays to help operators stay ahead of AOG situations and minimize downtime with a plug-and-play upgrade path.” Yingling is offering a $6,000 rebate per DU-1310-2 for two or more.
“Operators can choose to handle this proactively, or risk facing longer downtime and availability issues later,” said Peterson. “If a customer is considering the upgrade and needs help navigating pricing or rebate options, we’re here to assist.”
